The current trend of living is leaving a very bad taste in my mouth. It comes to a point that it sickens me to even inform myself much less concern myself with the current state of things. Isolation nor ignorance isn't doing me any good,since all these none sense is almost everywhere; soon it will even follow you when you take a dump.

We all grew up with certain virtues we try to live by, a moral compass in life if you will. Lately I think these good virtues have been in a rapid decline. There's corruption in every nook and cranny of society especially in government, prejudice in society, and ignorance amongst the masses. People have been complaisant, and have succumb to the allure of monetary pleasures.

Almost 1 in every household in a working class family has a relative working overseas, and the majority of the working class people here aspire to work in a foreign country. If not, jobs are outsourced in developing countries such as the Philippines where the cost of labor is cheap and getting cheaper due to the competition amongst other developing countries. The majority of the people I know either want to work for a foreigner or are already working for one, may it be in or out of the country. Which is sad because of sticking together as countrymen, we often are brought down by one of ours. It has come to a point where we pull each other down to get ahead in life which is a tragedy happening before our eyes for quite some time now.

Soon, our children won't get the quality education they deserve, since most of the decent educators are teaching in different countries, and the current educators here are disgruntled due to issues of wages and benefits or by status quo; hence the lack of effort to say the least in doing their jobs. The same goes for other professions, like health care, infrastructure and governance. Virtues have been replaced by financial or material goals. Instead of contentment people shoot for the moon, and pay no regard on the methods they may use to attain their desires.

Personally I would want to be a designer by trade, but there is not much money to be made, since most of the current designers are selling themselves short and driving the income six feet under, and there is also the scourge of plagiarism. I also wanted to be a programmer, again isn't much money there either, for similar reasons to the former. Today the money is in generating discomfort against other people, where one's annoyance is another one's gain. By this I mean spam in all it's forms, there's pornography, and piracy to name a few.

They say money easily earned is money easily spent, this may be particularly true to the people I know who work in call centers and in the "outsourcing business" in other words, pornography, sex trade, and what not. The common rationale I hear is that it is their way of venting out their job related stress. Which find to be really silly, you work your ass of to comfort your self because you are stressed out with your work. It's just like throwing a boomerang and it hitting you back in the ass; or those people taking supplement to whiten their skin, I think they forgot that they were genetically fair skinned and that they live in a tropical country were the sun beats down on them most of the times. Not to mention that we are near the equator were the UV rays are most concentrated. ...I just don't get it sometimes.
